Ingredients
4-inch piece of ginger
2-inch piece of turmeric 

3 tbsp water (add more as needed to blend thoroughly)
3 Tbs lemon juice

Directions
Makes 2-3 servings
  1. Wash ginger and turmeric thoroughly. (I use a vegetable brush. You can also peel them if you desire.)
  2. Place ginger, turmeric and water in a high-speed blender and blend until ginger and turmeric  is completely pulverized.
  3. Strain liquid into a jar and add lemon juice*
  4. Pour 1-2 oz into a cup and take a shot! I also enjoy mixing this with hot water, bubbly water or regular water. Apple cider vinegar and honey are also nice additions to the beverage version of this!
  5. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week. *The lemon juice helps this mixture stay better for longer.
Nutritional Highlights:
​
Ginger, turmeric
and lemon are powerhouse foods that support digestion, the immune system and your body’s natural detoxification pathways. 

Nutritional Highlights:
Turmeric is well known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities. This root is an excellent source of iron, manganese, B6, copper and potassium. 

Ginger
 contains gingerols which are the pungent  compound of the ginger rhizomes. This food is known for its anti-inflammatory, immune boosting and digestive qualities. Ginger is a warming root that makes you sweat, which is a great way to detox a little bit everyday.

Lemons
 are a rockin' source of vitamin C, B6, potassium, folic acid and flavonoids. Limonene in lemons elevate your liver enzymes and help with the liver’s detoxification process.
